Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular plants are also known as tracheophytes. They contain vascular tissues, i.e. xylem and phloem. Xylem is a lignified tissue that conducts water and minerals to the plant parts from the root. Phloem is a non-lignified tissue that conducts food produced by photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem is the specialised tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the plant–soil interface to stems and leaves, and provides mechanical support and storage. The water-conducting function of xylem is one of the major distinguishing features of vascular plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -The xylem are tiny tubes made of vascular tissue that moves water and minerals up from the ground through the root to the stem.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants are all vascular plants. Because they possess vascular tissues, these plants have true stems, leaves, and roots.
